# Usage Analytics

**GET** `/v1/analytics/computer/usage`

Returns your organization's Perplexity usage analytics as a bucketed time series for a single dataset. Requires an organization analytics API key, generated by an org admin from Settings → Organization → Computer in the Perplexity web app. Only complete UTC grid buckets are returned: start_time snaps down to its bucket, and the in-progress bucket is never included. Datasets differ in what they count: credits for credit_usage, queries for query_volume, distinct active members for daily_active_users, and thread counts for the rest. Buckets of daily_active_users are not additive — a member active on several days is counted once per day, so summing them is not the window's active-member count.

## Query parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `dataset` | `string` | Yes | The dataset to query. query_volume and daily_active_users are daily organization-level datasets: they reject bucket_width=1h and user_email. Allowed values: `credit_usage`, `connectors`, `artifacts`, `skills`, `spaces`, `workflows`, `task_durations`, `query_volume`, `daily_active_users`. |
| `start_time` | `integer` | Yes | Window start in unix seconds (UTC), inclusive. Snapped down to the bucket grid, so the first bucket can include usage from before this time. |
| `end_time` | `integer` | No | Window end in unix seconds (UTC), exclusive. Defaults to now; future values are capped at now. The window may span at most 90 days. |
| `bucket_width` | `string` | No | Bucket size. Buckets align to the UTC grid. Not accepted as 1h for query_volume or daily_active_users, which are stored at day grain. Allowed values: `1d`, `1h`. |
| `limit` | `integer` | No | Buckets per page. 1d: default 7, max 31. 1h: default 24, max 168. |
| `page` | `string` | No | Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's next_page. Valid only with the same query parameters it was issued for. |
| `user_email` | `string` (email) | No | Restrict results to a single member of your organization. Emails that don't match a current member return a generic 400. Not available for query_volume or daily_active_users, which are aggregated per organization; use the v2 endpoint for per-member query volume. |

## Responses

| Status | Description | Media type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `200` | Bucketed usage for the requested window. Buckets without data carry count 0; the analytics store syncs periodically, so a zero in a recent bucket can mean the data hasn't synced yet. | `application/json` |
| `400` | Invalid parameters (type: bad_request) or semantically invalid request (type: invalid_request) — e.g. start_time after end_time, a window over 90 days, a misused pagination cursor, or a user_email that doesn't match a member of the organization. | `application/json` |
| `401` | Missing or invalid API key (type: unauthorized). | `application/json` |
| `404` | The Analytics API is not enabled for this organization (type: feature_disabled). | `application/json` |
| `429` | Rate limit exceeded (type: request_rate_limit_exceeded). Limits apply per organization across all of its keys. | `application/json` |

### Example response: 200 — Bucketed usage for the requested window. Buckets without data carry count 0; the analytics store syncs periodically, so a zero in a recent bucket can mean the data hasn't synced yet.
